Been playing nl10 for a month or more now. Dont seem to be making any progress, and its really frustrating. My roll has hovered between $180 and $220, so never winning or losing much. Its annoying because I jumped from $50 to $200 over a few weeks. Maybe I just ran well.

Anyway, I just played a hand, or rather, folded a hand that sums my whole situation up (I dont have PT or HEM so Im gonna tell it story style):

MP2 raised to 4bb and BU calls.
I'm in the BB with KcJc and, being out of position, with no reads on my opponents, and with a dangerous hand I tell myself I shouldnt get involved. I let the hand go despite the 3-1 odds.

Get PT3 or HEM and that way you can resolve your leaks .... Also, if you can't afford it then using the elephant software provided by this site will do better than no software at all. Until such time you can afford to buy one of the bigger brothers of the software.

Running without stats and/or a HUD puts you at a disadvantage as a lot of online players use these tools to help them with their game. Always +EV to have the same tools as the opponents you are playing, then you can really exploit any edge that you may have.

Flop comes AcQcTc.

MP2 and BU get all in on flop with AK and QQ.

you folded a weakish hand in the face of a 4BB raise and a call. the hand went to show down which showed that you had the weakest starting hand. I dont see what the issue is? get HEM and do an analysis of all the times you folded in this situation and the you didnt flop the top hand. I bet you have saved more money than you would have won here.

results of the hand are irrelevant. its the decisions that matter.

btw you dont need HEM to show your hands here. just your hand history and an online hand convertor.

Stick with man, least you haven't crashed and burned.
Good luck

Great advice!! I have just started to use hem, wish I had done it months ago!!!!

I am still using elephant even ,though I have pt3 cause the stats or so freaking small on 1280/1024 so the colors are really useful. Side note I play around 9-12 tables so the color coding system is super useful.
